I did my interview over the weekend.

Arrived at the field office 15 min early, as per the interview letter, it recommends not to arrive earlier than 30 min. Unfortunately, many people were inline before me. I asked a couple of them and they have the same appointment time with me. I have to leave the appointment letter with the reception and wait for her to confirm my appointment on her computer. It took her 20 min. I strongly recommend arriving at least 30 min earlier. By 9:05 my appointment is confirmed and told to wait for the call from the IO. Around 10:05 I was called in, went inside the office, he said "please remain standing, I need to place you under the oath", raise the right hand and did the oath. If any of you watched the USCIS naturalization Interview and test video on you tube, the experience is exactly the same as it is depicted in that video. Please go and watch, it will help you on what to expect.

The first part of the interview involves going through the N-400 form, like confirming residence address, verifying ID/Passport, reviewing the yes/no questions on the form, and signing the form as well as the photos. On my original form I provided only IRS transcript and copy of marriage certificate as a supporting evidence, so he asked me if I have any lease or any additional proof. I provided the lease first page copy. All the files starting from the first application is on file so he just went through them all. He didn't ask a copy of the kids birth certificate, but asked some information about them just verbally. Also asked about my last travel outside the US ( which was only to Canada).

The second part is the civics, reading and writing test. The questions were:

Who wrote the declaration of Independence?
Who is in charge of the executive branch?
What is the political party of the president now?
What are the two major political parties in the US?
Name one state that borders Mexico?
There were 13 original colonies. Name three?
I answered all six so we stopped here and continued the reading, which says "Who elects Congress", then I was told to write "The people elect Congress"

That's it, passed the test of English and U.S. history, he printed the form N-652 Interview results, the application has been recommended for approval and to wait for an oath letter in the mail. Asked if I have any questions and escorted me out.

The whole process took a little less than 15 min and I was on my way to the beer store to consume lots of liquids on the hottest day in Denver history - it was 100 degree F.



Good Luck to you all.
